[Bug 884844] [NEW] Check/Uncheck updates from ppa inverts selection of packages

[Joost]

Public bug reported:

If i uncheck or check a PPA in the updatemanager view than the selection
setting of all the packages under that particular PPA will only be
inverted. While that is correct most of the time it is not correct in
the following situation:

Deselect a package from a PPA.
Deselect the entire PPA

Result: The unselected packages are now selected. The previously
selected packages are now (correctly) deselected.

Suggestion: Unselecting a PPA must not simply invert the settings of all
underlying packages. It must also check what the current setting is and
keep this into account. If the package is already deselected -> do
nothing.

Same goes for reselecting a PPA.

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
